Broadcast XML Nominated for deletion

I've done maintenance of the List of fictional diseases you had made a JA link to. I noticed you have several diseases on the Japanese list. I am particularly interested in the disease that appears in Eden: It's An Endless World and would like to see a translation of it's name. I had wanted to add that for some time, but could not find a name for it.--YoungFreud 05:43, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

edit

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Before I Vote on 'Move Tsushima Islands' Issue

edit
  • I would appreciate a rational explaination (after you read my Comments in the subject dispute Talk:Tsushima Islands), of the arguement or arguments you consider vital and germane to the discusion and vote. Frankly, MOST all of you are being silly over nothing of particular importance, since both names can be redirected into the one used. I have left a comment concerning my contribution to the article, which contribution — seems to have triggered the current edit and revision wars. For that I apologize, but see the Comments on the vote. I am also taking the liberty of putting the vote section AFTER the Comments about same.
  • Still, I have just spent over four hours of valuable spare time, and would welcome your thoughts after you read and understand the distinction I put forth between a governments termonology as a governing body and a geographical reference like an archepelego, which it certainly is.
  • More to the point, I'd like to see your defense regarding your favorite POV of what I had to say viz a viz the mergest attitude of the senior editors and administrators that frequent the Wikipedia:VfD discussions. To my recollection, I don't recollect any of you hotheads in this dispute ever spending anytime thereon, possibly excepting Mel Etitis, but rarely even then.
  • In any event, I'm neutral here, and have asked that the article be kept EDIT FREE for the next three days by placing The Inuse template into it — I'd copyedited over two and half hours before I suspended that effort the other night because this shameful fued was going on — proper English grammer does depend, unfortunately, on whether one uses the plural or the singular. I saved that on my hard drive, but I don't need to wade through yet another 70 edits to finish the job. As it is, this matter will probably double the time it takes for such a simple job.
  • If you are local to Japan, some history of the canals or Sea-channel is certainly germane to the ongoing discussion, moreover, any cogent arguement you condsider being particularly telling needs to be clearly repeated in the current on going comments if you want them counted on in the vote.
  • I will make sure this message goes to each contributor to the article the past month, so you are not being singled out. Now is the time to take a deep breath, for rational concise summaries, not all the arguing that is so wearisome in 66 printed pages - half a novelette, I'd guess! It's certainly a lot to ask your fellow editors to wade through on a minor issue.
  • I will also personally be making sure that at least a dozen other Administrators I'm acquainted with take a look at the debate after the time below. I will in fact ask for twenty commitments, so be clear and respectful of our time!!!
  • Thankyou for your time, attention, and good professional behaviour. I'll check the Talk state again no sooner than Monday around Noon (UTC), And ask the uninvolved others to do the same. PLEASE BE CONCISE. [[User:Fabartus| FrankB || TalktoMe]] 00:00, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Korean name

edit

I see that you have put up the Korean name, but having an infobox would have been much neater. Also, your sentence saying that "There has been caltural influence from Korea, where they are called Daema-do (대마도)." What do you mean? This is certainly atrocious English, in terms of spelling and elaboration, I'm afraid. Mr Tan 06:41, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

magatama

edit

Hi, Kusunose.

I am wondering whether you have any English language sources to verify your information? I have researched magatama myself and have not seen mentioned a Jomon-period origin or any other proof as to why there was a transfer of magatama from what is now known as Japan to what is now known as Korea. I added the "citations needed" because I am not sure whether those assertions that I needed were true. You just deleted them without addressing it in the "Talk" section. Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi

edit

Kusonose: At the city of Nara ([1]) article there is a part that discusses the etymology/origin of the word Nara. I had never really taken seriously the assertion that Nara came from a Korean word before but I found this really interesting article here [2] discussing the origin of the term Kudara and it discusses the possible origins of Nara as well. Right now the section looks a little point of view/origianl researchy and all I did was add some citations and citations needed. If you could take a look I would appreciate it. Thanks.

"Primary Topic" in East Sea

edit

In Talk:East Sea#Where are we at?, you have said "I don't object making it [a primary topic]". We have 2 versions to choose from....

Tortfeasor's version
East Sea is another name for the Sea of Japan. See also Sea of Japan naming dispute.
Endroit's version
East Sea is another name for the Sea of Japan as described by the Sea of Japan naming dispute.

Can you specify which of the 2 versions you prefer? I believe Endroit's version treats Sea of Japan naming dispute equally with Sea of Japan. And Tortfeasor's version does not.

Also Bridesmill suggested using the {{controversy}} tag. Please comment on that also. Thank you for your cooperation.--Endroit 14:02, 15 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yakiniku

edit

I don't oppose your edit on the yakiniku article, in fact I just reverted back to your version after another Japanese vandal removing the references to bulgogi (as well as sabotaging the bulgogi article). I would though like to ask if it were a coincidence that you all of a sudden make this change only four hours after User:Gegesongs made a controversial edit stating yakiniku does not come from bulgogi, which I reverted. Despite the fact that nobody ever had a problem with that wording since the article was created over a year ago. Then, a third (most probably Japanese) user removes the edits again? All within 24 hours by different users. Something smells fishy. Mackan 13:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use

edit

Fair use is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use for scholarship or review.

Taeguk Warrior 16:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Taeguk Warrior - Please also see [[3]]. Wikipedia's usage of fair use is different than yours.

Under U.S. copyright law, almost all work published after 1922 may have an active copyright (there are exceptions, however — see United States copyright law for details). In general, the use of copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder is copyright infringement, and is illegal. As such, on Wikipedia, which is hosted in the United States, we are normally only able to use material that is not under copyright or is available under a sufficiently free license.

An important exception to this rule exists, recognized in a clause in the copyright act that describes a limited right to use copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder — what is known as fair use (or "fair dealing" in other countries, where standards may differ). This page is meant as a guideline for dealing with fair use materials on the English Wikipedia — it provides general guidance on what is or isn't likely to be fair use and how you can best assist editors when attempting to include material under fair use. However, it is not official policy. You, as the uploader, are legally responsible for determining whether your contributions are legal.

Eishō

edit

Please explain your clean-up of the Eishō disambiguation. Obviously it doesn't really matter in the broader sense, but I wonder in the context of what I might be inclined to do in the future. Your edit is crisp, clean, precise; but why remove the other helpful links? Were you thinking that links are better eliminated because they're superfluous to disambiguation, no matter how relevant to the subject at hand? If I were to have enountered your version without this history, I might have thought it helpful to add a link to Japanese era names? I gather that you would have construed that hypothetical edit as unhelpful. The question becomes: Why? Do you see my point? My view is informed by plausible reasoning, but I'm open to changing my mind ... and there would be repercussions in the way I edit in future.

From a slightly different perspective: I really liked the new layout which places the kanji in such close proximation. The graphic distinction becomes more vividly clear. Why not bracket the kanji to create links to nowhere so that the contrast is highlighted in red? Is the reasoning in this case congruent with what you were thinking when you removed the link to Japanese era names?

These are trivial questions, I know; but the limited subject matter makes this a good venue for addressing broader related issues, I reckon. Ooperhoofd 13:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

And the edit history was gone as well. Therefore, restoring the contents and then intend to move the page to "Liancourt rocks". I don't endorse the editor's revert at all. If your claims were right, the admin endorses as the editors' intention.

I politely say that you must stop this unproductive wikistalking of me.--Appletrees (talk) 00:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't think checking edit history of a user who tend to edit war constitute wikistalking. And your recent suspicion of massive sock puppetry, in which you included me in Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Amazonfire draws particular attention to you. But your examples are not result of checking your edits. I had interest in the dog meat dispute so Korean cuisine was on my watchlist. For Category:Korean fruits, edit war for inclusion by some editors draw my attention, not your creation of the category. For Kim Ki-duk, I went from WP:RM because I have interest in article naming and disambiguation. Recent my edits from your edit history includes: Dekopon, on which you edit war with anon so I have provided a citation that supports anon's edit, An Jung-geun, similary, I have added a citation that supports anon's edit, Template:Email‎, on which you included a category in a wrong place so I fixed it. I also hope I don't have to make such edits again. --Kusunose (talk) 03:45, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

The result is "inconclusive", not "unrelated" like really a few. So there is a possibility that whether you're related to Mochi, jusenkoquide or someone else. Jusenkoguide has been always suspected per other people's files and his scarce contribution doesn't add up his appearance at such the deft timings. As the checkuser's suggestion, I might need to prepare a narrowed RFCU file next time. Then how do you find out my file to RFCU unless you're checking my contribution history? Well, I saw something funny long time ago that some of editors are doing meatpupptry thing per his talk page in Japanese, which says there are some boards to seek a help. There are abundant of possibility out there. However, I didn't put a sockpupptry tag on the suspected people unlike Endroit or anyone because I highly regard "public reputation". My lengthy file is because of disruptive adding or revertings of your friends (your "suspicion of massive sock puppetry" sounds like Japlish). My suspicion is valid as long as you and your friend are doing suspicious and disruptive behaviors. I don't see any single good contribution to Korean related article done by you. The inclusion of you is purely due to your "wikistalking" like Mochi. You're always get in my way, and owing to the Kim Ki-duk elder and email template and your socket pipeline at WikiProject Korea, you just prove that you're following me. The biggest mistake Wikimachine might've committed was the idea of nominating you as an admin. The unwise decision of him to recommend you who is more like a nationalistic editor far from neutrality could have caused misfortunes to my community. --09:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Is that a coincidence again? Don't pretend your wikistalking me anymore with other irrational rationale.

Nagasaki and Tsushima

edit

Hi Kusunose,

Thanks for making the link to Tsushima in the article Nagasaki, Nagasaki more precise with this edit. It's now a good match for the link to Satsuma Province in the same sentence. Now that we have articles on various han, including Satsuma Domain and Tsushima-Fuchū Domain, I wonder if those would be even more appropriate. What's your opinion?

Fg2 (talk) 05:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

After the edit to Nagasaki, Nagasaki, I made an edit to Arai Hakuseki, in which I linked to Tsushima-Fuchū Domain (through Tsushima Domain redirect) to match the link to Satsuma Domain in the same sentence and thought the same thing. I agree linking to han articles is more appropriate. --Kusunose 05:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. Since Nagasaki mentions the Edo Period, which the han articles cover, the han articles seem to be the most pertinent ones. Fg2 (talk) 05:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion request for Chūō Liner/Ōme Liner

edit

Hi Kusunose, and thanks for renaming the article Chūō Liner/Ōme Liner. The renaming process automatically created a redirect of that name, and I've put in a request for speedy deletion of it. I think it's safe to say nobody will type "Chūō Liner/Ōme Liner" into the search box both because of the macrons and due to the slash (they'll type "Chuo Liner" or "Ome Liner" and both redirects work). The article has been split into separate articles on the two services. If that's a problem, you can remove the speedy deletion request or create the redirect again. Best regards, Fg2 (talk) 06:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

name order

you said, "use the English name primary and sort local names in alphabetic order of their respective languages, not by local names themselves per WP:NC(GN)"

show me evidence please, there is no rules that country name order first before local (or alpha) name order.


According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names), foreign language names permitted and should be listed in alphabetic order Manacpowers (talk) 04:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) says, the contents (this applies to all articles using the name in question): The same name as in the title should be used consistently throughout the article. That is, Liancourt Rocks should be used. As for an additional listing of the local names, only mention in the guideline is [they] should be listed in alphabetic order of their respective languages. In any case, using the Korean local name alone, as you did to Usan-guk[7], is not acceptable as per the guideline. --Kusunose 06:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
i revert Korean local name alone.
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) says, foreign language names permitted and should be listed in alphabetic order. so your naming order (known as Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in South Korea) is not acceptable.
there is no rules that country name order first before local (or alpha) name order.

Manacpowers (talk) 06:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I can't find such wording in the guideline. There is no guideline to sort by country names as you say but there is no guideline to sort by local names themselves either.

Violation of NPOV

edit

I see you're not listening to my repeated suggestion regarding your wikii-staling. If you're truly a neutral person and far from Japanese POV, you should've written Liancourt Rocks (known as Dokdo and Takeshima in Japanese) on Usan-guk. (you always claims to use alphabet order, but you intentionally placed to Takeshima comes first) Besides, Liancourt Rocks is NOT an English term, but used to avoid political and international conflict only documents not real life. Besides, the division of Jeollanam-do did not exist until the late of the 20th century. So your putting the Greater Japan which was disappeared and ruined is nothing but your Japanese POV. --Caspian blue (talk) 13:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I always "claim" that it should be "in alphabetic order of their respective languages" so putting Japanese name first is consistent with my statement. As for Jeollanam-do, it's due to my ignorance. If the region was under a different administrative division during the Japanese rule, then it should be corrected accordingly. Sorry for misinformation. --Kusunose 00:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
You do not realize that the article is about a Korean historical term or geographical info, so your comment is against your policy "their respective languages". Then, you prove that you're editing articles far from NPOV.--Caspian blue (talk) 01:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Sort by "their respective languages" means sorting names like this: "(Armenian name1, Belarusian name2, Czech name3)", sorted by names of their languages; not "(Language1 alpha, Language2 beta, Language3 gamma)", sorted by names themselves.
No, the article is related to Korean history, and related to Korean historical document, so there is actually no need to mention about Takeshima at all. Besides, people have no need to follow your definition of the respective languages.--Caspian blue (talk) 04:35, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
In your point of view, before the mid-19th century of Ryuku can't be Japanese history , but Chinese history. Their culture/politics/economics everything has been strongly influenced by China not Japan, so their cuisine can be a part of Chinese cuisine and Karate originating in Okinawa can't be only Japanese culture as well. Therefore when putting info about the Okinawan masters who were born before Okinawa integrated into Japan should be not include "Japan" flag, according to your point of view--Caspian blue (talk) 13:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Before the annexation of Ryukyu to Japan, it was an independent kingdom, as explained in Ryūkyū Kingdom. Therefore, those who was born in the Ryukyu islands during that period, one should put Ryūkyū Kingdom in the infobox instead of Japan or China --Kusunose 00:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
I've checked several articles of karate masters who were born and died before the annexation (during their life, the annexation had nothing to do with them at all) have the "Japan" flag on their infobox. Somebody joked about the case, every Japanese who were born during the Occupied Japan period, are referred to as "born in the U.S or citizens of the countries in Allied Powers? I guess you would not. Moreover, a couple of your 2channel friends strongly previously objected to use the style of the "Occupied Japan" on one of Olympic games during the time. That is contradictory. Aside from all these, do not stalk me any more.--Caspian blue (talk) 01:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
If you had checked articles and saw them incorrect, please fix them. I checked several articles in Category:Okinawan karateka and found them correct; those articles for those who was born before 1879 have information about their birth place correctly mentions they were born in Ryūkyū Kingdom. As for the occupied Japan, I disagree with such statement as you guessed. Japan was militarily occupied but not annexed to any of the Allied Powers so those people were not born in the US, nor citizens of the countries in Allied Powers. I have nothing to say about 2channellers and their opinions about articles related to Olympic games. Finally, I made the edit to Kim Dae-jung because it's on my watchlist, not because I followed you. In fact, I didn't notice it's you. --Kusunose 03:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
You might've missed several articles regarding Ryuku people, because I saw more than three articles styled as such. Well, it is somewhat funny that people from Okinawa still are being treated differently in Japan but their ancestors are styled as Japanese people. The someone who joked about the occupied Japan are very keen to both Japanese and Korean culture and history. That example is what you tried to do on Kim Dae-jung.

If someone was not born in Japan but stated as such, it should be corrected. If someone was not born in South Korea but stated as such, it should be corrected as well.

Geography of South Korea

edit

Why are you, a Japanese programmer, changing the edits made by me (a Korean) on the Article: "Geography of South Korea"? In particular the changes I made were to edit the disputed name of the Sea of Japan to "East Sea". As it is the official position of the KOREAN government that the name of that body of water should be the "East Sea", and since I did indeed quote a credible reference pertaining to the dispute over the name (another Wikipedia article), it should be left intact. Furthermore, since the article is about the geography of South Korea, it stands to reason that the naming conventions should respect what the Korean people, and the Korean government officially recognize it as, especially as there is a large amount of evidence supporting either naming convention (depending on which international maps, Chinese, Korean, European, or Japanese you refer to). In any case, it seems to me that since the article is not concerning Japan, but rather the "Geography of South Korea", you should respect the wishes of the vast majority (if not near unanimous) population of Korea and the Korean government. Please do not undo my changes again.

Insignificant geography

edit

Yes, the naming convention page does not have anything to say that "(East Sea)" should be mention just once per one page at all, so I said such. I thought the passage first introduces the geographic information in the section even though it may mention above or elsewhere section per the unlinking. Even if the mention of "Sea of Japan (East Sea)" is duplicated by placing one per one section (could be several mentions within one article), you can not quote the naming convention at all because there is no such phase in that. You can open a discussion for clarification since the naming convention was set up about five years ago. Moreover, your edit summary Geography: removed the section about Liancourt Rocks per WP:UNDUE, the islets are not geographically significant, and WP:POV; changed some names) is very misleading, so I wanted to rebut to the false claim by editing almost null-edit of mine. If the islets are geographically insignificant, why are you acting like owning the article, and being sensitive to any related articles for a long time without contributing anything to Korean articles that you've touched? Please be honest about your POV.--Caspian blue 02:33, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hatnotes

edit

I'm uncertain about what lessons to draw from your hatnote edit at IJN.

Please compare hatnotes at JMSDF? Do these headnotes need to be edited in light of the rationale which informs your decision-making at IJN? I believed hatnotes at JMSDF were helpful, appropriate and welcome because of a likelihood that someone might scan the first paragraph and then think, "Aha -- close, but no cigar."

I believed that the same reasoning applied at IJN. I also have a corollary question: In IJN, why is Ministry of the Military (Ritsuryō) appropriate in the "See also" section rather than headnote?

In sum, I have added hatnotes when I guessed that someone might appreciate the suggested alternative? Do you have any thoughts to share? --Tenmei (talk) 04:06, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

First. I thought I had also removed the hatnote form JMSDF as well, but apparently I forgot to push the Save page button. Now, I did. See WP:HATNOTE. Hatnotes are navigational aid. It is intended to help who arrived at a wrong article because the article title is similar to another topic. It is not the place to list related topics. If something is closely related, it should be discussed and linked in the article. If something is somewhat related but the article does not mention it, then "see also" is the appropriate section.
I don't think typing "Imperial" in searching JMSDF or typing "self-defense force" in searching IJN are "close". If someone typed "Imperial Japanese Navy", then the intended page certainly is not JMSDF. "Imperial Japanese Navy" cannot be a possible alternative title to JMSDF. Equally, if someone typed a name that contains "self-defense force", then "Imperial Japanese Navy" is not the intended tartget. As for "Imperial Japanese Navy" and "Ministry of the Military (Ritsuryō)", if there was a navy under the Rituryō system and it is referenced as "Imperial Japanese Navy", and the ministry article is the article that provides the most in-depth coverage of the navy, then the hatnote is appropriate. However, the ministry article currently does not discuss pre-"Imperial Japanese Navy" navy at all so I think the placement at the "see also" section is appropriate.
Answer to the last question: Please add a hatnote if you think someone might be confused with other topics because of their similarity in their names. If you think someone might be interested in other topics because they are similar or related topic, incorporate the term into the article or put it into the "see also" section.

--Kusunose 13:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to be late to answer. I think they are OK, though I'm not sure putting it into a foot note is best. An alternative would be to mention the JMSDF at the end of IJN's lead section. As "Self-Defense Forces" is the last section of the article, mentioning it at the end in the lead seems not out of place. I'm not saying the alternative is better. One should exercise editorial judgment --Kusunose 14:16, 5 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

(Discuss)Senkaku IslandsPinnacle Islands — A recent discussion about the controversial use of Japanese name over a controversial land seems to suggest that neither Senkaku and Diaoyu is predominate common name. Search results show that both names are common, in which the Japanese one yields more results in Google Book search, while the Chinese name yields more in Google News and General Google search. The title was hence moved to Pinnacle Islands following the example of Liancourt Rocks and Sea of Japan, which neglects who administrate and controls the place, but pick up a neutral generally known name. In this case, although the name Pinnacle Islands does not seem to be predominately popular than the rest of two, it achieves the highest degree of neutrality required by wp:name. An admin (nihonjoe) and I have moved the page to Pinnacle Islands for neutrality, but the move is disputed by a user. --Winstonlighter (talk) 05:24, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905

edit

I am contacting you because you participated in a discussion thread about changing the name of Eulsa Treaty to another name.

Summarizing the so-called discussion which began at Talk:Eulsa Treaty in early August here:

A. In an attempt to help us start discussion, options were proposed here and refined here.
  1. Leave it at its current name?
  2. To Japan-Korea Protectorate Treaty?
  3. To Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905?
  4. To 1905 Protectorate Treaty?
  5. Or what?; see the second paragraph of page Eulsa Treaty.
B. Valentim presented the results of a Lexis/Nexis search here. This supplements several Google searches.

In the many weeks of so-called discussion thread development, those opposing the move have either been unwilling or unable to present refutation or counterargument; and therefore, I propose we delay no longer.

In other words, I suggest that there is a consensus to act now on the basis of the Lexis-Nexis search outcome. The time has come for this article to be renamed Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905. --Tenmei (talk) 19:51, 26 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Tolstoy

edit

In part, this is a follow-up to the problems your recent edit tried to resolve at Senkaku Islands.

I wonder if you have previously stumbled across this quote?

The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him. -- Leo Tolstoy, 1994

For me, this concept has resonance in a variety of Wikipedia settings. These sentences were introduced to me by someone interested in Metonymy and WP:Polling is not a substitute for discussion WP:Straw poll. Although I still haven't resolved what I think about the context, I do come back again and again to Tolstoy's words.

Perhaps these words might be usefully stored in the back of your mind? --Tenmei (talk) 14:59, 5 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Although some of your edits to this article were helpful in avoiding disambiguation pages, you changed many direct links to links to redirects. I don't understand why you would do that. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:33, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Changing from direct section links to redirects to sections is part of Dab solver's recommended fix. In my opinion, it is preferable to link sections directly because:
  • Redirects can indicate possible future articles.
  • Introducing unnecessary invisible text makes the article more difficult to read in page source form.
  • Non-piped links make better use of the "what links here" tool, making it easier to track how articles are linked and helping with large-scale changes to links.
as explained in WP:NOTBROKEN. I believe this is the reason Dab solver implements this feature. --Kusunose 05:55, 7 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello Kusunose. I'm editing the page Hatayama Hatch no Pro Yakyuu News! Jitsumei Han, can you help a little bit with the Japanese translation?

Move of Be Here Now

edit

If you had a problem with that, you should have used requested move. When I moved it, I had a good faith belief it was uncontested. You knew, becuase I had just moved it, that you were making a contested move. What you did is move warring. Yworo (talk) 15:06, 14 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I will be moving it back, then you can use requested move like you should have when a page has just been moved. You not only did it incorrectly, you didn't even bother to clean things up properly. Yworo (talk) 15:12, 14 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Be Here Now. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains under way. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 15:14, 14 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

It is fine you moved a page with the assumption that the book is the primary topic will not be contested. I contested it by undoing the page move, provided the rationale in the summary. I think my action is also fine per Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Discussion should follow, in the form of requested move, instead of moving it back.
As for I did not clean things up properly, I did not notice that the style of the disambiguation page was changed from a plain disambiguation page to a disambiguation page with primary topic. Thank you for the fix. I will be careful to check edits to related pages. If there are other things I also messed up, please let me know, thank you. --Kusunose 02:22, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Konbanwa, Kusunose-san!

I appreciate very much your help in adding Kanji titles and their transliterations into the article. I was wondering if you can also provide accurate English translations of the episode titles? I've looked up the Google-translated version and added some that make real sense, but the machine translations overall seem awkward - you can overwrite the machine translated English titles.

USS Pueblo (AGER-2)

edit

It seems to me that "of Korea" is an extension of the term "East Sea", and hence "East Sea" and "East Sea of Korea" may be said to same, in essence. I have only a cursory knowledge of the subject, so maybe that reasoning is too simple. In any case, I think it is relevant for the article USS Pueblo (AGER-2) to include whatever name North Korea calls the sea, as the article is partially about a dispute with North Korea. Though I agree with your initial edit making the change to "Sea of Japan", that being the commonly used name. Knight of Truth (talk) 14:26, 23 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

To put a finer point on it, please stop removing mentions of "East Sea" as you did at Japanese archipelago. Some readers might better recognize the geographic feature called Sea of Japan by another name. Both names are used for clarity's sake. Changing the name is just going to incite problems. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:53, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
I removed a name that I believe is not relevant in the context. I'm following WP:NC-SoJ, where we had a concensus that "East Sea" is not to be used outside of Korea related articles. --Kusunose 05:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
My apologies. I was unaware of WP:NC having a special provision like that. I reverted my edit. Thanks for letting me know. Chris Troutman (talk) 05:53, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Keizaburo Tejima

edit

Thanks. Can you review the two redirects I created for appropriateness, and db-g6 them if they are inappropriate? They are Keizaburō Tejima and Tejima Keizaburō.

Also, can you search the Japanese Wikipedia for an article about this person and if one exists, create the Interwikis or add the necessary information directly to Wikidata, then translating any information useful to the English Wikipedia back? Also, if there is a Commons-compatible photo that would be great.

If an article does not exist, would you consider translating it and/or writing a better article then translating the improvements back to the English Wikipedia? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:52, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Those redirects are fine. Japanese Wikipedia did not have an article for him so I translated the English article and interwiki-linked them. The Japanese article is at ja:手島圭三郎. --Kusunose 13:58, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I fixed a typo in both versions. I said "ASA Notable Book, 1987" when I meant to say "ALA Notable Book, 1987."
The English Wikipedia recommends the use of {{translated page}} on the article talk page for attribution purposes. I think the Japanese version is ja:Template:翻訳告知. This is just a guess, but I think the template implementation should read:
{{翻訳告知|en|Keizaburo Tejima|version=577043144|insertversion=49438200}}
If that is correct, I'll be happy to make the edit, or you can if you want.
In any case, your edit summary of the 1st edit in :ja probably covers the legal bases. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:11, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I note your recent revert https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Article_titles&oldid=630774620&diff=prev

I don't understand your edit summary, and am not sure you appreciate the reason for my edit?

The problem, as I saw it, was that the piped link of "reliable sources" linked "WP:SOURCES". The problem with that is that the hover text produced then doesn't reveal what page is being linked. By following the advice at Template:Anchor, the hover text reveals the title of the linked page, the much better recognized Wikipedia:Verifiability. This is a small thing, but I think its a positive thing. What do you see as the advantage of not doing this? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:18, 23 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Linking to a shortcut that redirects to the relevant page/section of the policy/guideline has an advantage of being future-proof. That is, even when the section of the policy becomes expanded and split to another page, just updating the shortcut and we can ensure people are led to the most relevant and detailed page without a need for hunting down section links.
I see linking to "WP:SOURCES" may be unclear to some. But in my opinion, the link text and the hover text just let readers know that the link leads them to information about (reliable) sources, and that it currently being a subsection of Wikipedia:Verifiability is not that important. --Kusunose 04:33, 24 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
